Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for risking their lives to fight
for children's rights. The decision made Malala, a 17-year-old student and
education activist, the youngest-ever Nobel winner.

Malala was injured by a Taliban gunman two years
ago in Pakistan for insisting that girls also have the right to an education.
Surviving several operations, she continued both her activism and her studies.

Raised in Pakistan, Malala was 11 years old when she began
championing girls' education, speaking out in TV interviews.

Also awarded is Kailash Satyarthi, 60, who has been at the
forefront of a global movement to end child slavery and exploitative child
labor since 1980, when he gave up his career as an electrical engineer.
Satyarthi led the rescue of tens of thousands of child slaves and developed a
successful model for their education and rehabilitation. He has also survived
several attempts on his life.
